good morning babes
pink, dried scallop can cook wif porridge (that was what i did) or wif most soups. at my hse, my MIL used it 2 cook lotus root, winter melon, black chicken, & sometimes even cabbage soups =) boil it a bit longer, then the taste wld b stronger. & i guess if u use dried scallop, dun hv to put chk stock, if not the chk stock taste so strong will cover the dried scallop taste.

accompanying item yes, u r right pink. it's not exactly a base by itself but since it's so expensive, the chefs i noe (my mum, aunts & MIL lah) normally use it wif v selective items tt taste would not overpower the dried scallop taste.
dried scallop, jagong + veg sounds good, put a few more dried scallops and i'm sure ur soup would taste great =)
ant, so now u feel re-charged? =) have a great day
skylar, u ok bo? so quiet?

walau eh... so busy having to rush everything before i leave for my holiday then HR keep asking me why you never clock in, what time you clock out? why you forget to bring your card? were you on leave? wah biang eh........ this is the one thing that make me damn pekchek. i got to clock in and out everyday.
ya boy.. so glad tml is holiday! yeah..
pink, me too! i gota clock in and clock out as well!! n it is used to track our punctuality. if you are late by 1 mere second, system will generate a mail to u n ur boss n have to fill out online form as to why you are late!
lev, yup, now better lor.. at least away from whiny n teh ppl gives my ears and mind some peace.

levynn - i fly off tomorrow afternoon la. you also want to send me off? really la, don't need. i pai say.
ant - i even have to clock in and out for lunch. can you beat that? cos where i work, there are floor staff as well so to be fair, back office (where i work) also have to clock in and out. sibeh sian. my boss is cool with us being late cos he knows we stay back but HR is king of the world, know what i mean?
i dunno which is worse - having to fill up a form to tell your boss why you're late, or to receive an email from HR at the end of the month asking you to explain every single time why you never clock in and out. who will remember?! sometimes i got morning meetings that are away from the clocking machine, then how?
damn frustrating sia...

it's a great company to work for but some HR rules and regulations just get to me. you know when you stay back to finish work, usually you don't hang around for dinner right? just finish up then go home right? so if officially i finish work at 6.30 for instance, then i stay till 8.30, i would claim 2 hours, right? but HR says it is compulsory for me to take one hour break for dinner because MOM says every X number of hours, must take break. so in the end i claim only 1 hour.
sometimes we work through lunch.... but still got to walk down to the machine, clock out, then clock back in. even if we're at our desk all the time.
see la. can get frustrated or not. i love everything about my job. except this.

hi gals, wld like to ask: wat is tis hua tiao jiu tht pink always uses huh?
hahaha clever KA. a little bit of both lah .... but i also noe these days u wake up early cos u say already b4 mah.
tea tree, hua tiao jiu is commonly used in small qty in some chinese dishes to make the dishes more fragrant. it's contained in glass bottles (well, i haven't seen it sold in plastic bottles b4). can b found in provision shops/supermarts, juz tell the uncle 2 show u lor.
